Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
They want to be a nice hotel and they’re trying but I don’t think management knows how. You only get 1 towel at a time and no hand towels or wash cloths. I ran out of toilet paper. There is no restaurant and the cafe is poor and in-inviting. Front desk staff during the day were helpful and friendly but evening and night staff of men were unhelpful and unfriendly.

Great hotel about a half mile from the water front. Dunkin donuts around the corner and 5 minutes walk from Starbucks and next to a small park with fountains. I was very happy. Room a bit dated but big and spacious.
